Doing a bit of audiobook knitting today. Mike Carey is also M.R. Carey, the author of The Girl With All The Gifts. He also worked on some of the Hellblazer (John Constantine) comics. The Devil You Know is the first in the Felix Castor urban fantasy series. Felix is an exorcist living and working in London. Love this series.

The Ghost in Bone
December 28 #DevineDecember Boots I have to put this series on My TBR List, another series for the #SeriesLove23 @Andrew65 @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
1) fast zombies. I'm not very fast, I want to be able to out-hobble the zombies.
2) I honestly can't think of one, unless Frankenstein's monster is considered a zombie then that. I have read more books with zombies as minor characters (tagged) or zombies as the big bad out there to slay.
3) Virus/bacterial infection of some sort. Is there a book where it's a bacterial infection that starts the zombie apocalypse?

so-soI almost bailed on this. A bunch of times. It really picks up after page 200… It was a long time to stick around but it did pay off. Freelance exorcist Felix is hired to rid an archive of a ghost, in the process he ends up in the sights of a crime syndicate. Non-standard supernatural creatures, like a loup-garou, round out the shenanigans. Idk if I will try to continue the series, the 2nd book would have to have a MUCH stronger start.

I‘m not really feeling this book, tbh. Characters are unlikable and the plot seems to be moving slow. It‘s about a cocky freelance exorcist who is supposed to be ridding an office of a ghost 👻 it just seems like a lot of time between anything supernatural or anything of merit happening..
Now watching the exorcist for an additional 5 points for #TeamHarkness +1 participation so 6 altogether
pickI don't like starting a series in the middle, but I received a copy of this book in a book exchange and it sounded like my style, so I gave it a chance. And I liked it. This book was a lot of fun, but there are many characters from the previous two books, and relationship nuances that I wasn't aware of. I read the book over two days. I liked this enough to want to seek out the other books in the series.
Thank you for #WondrousWednesday @Eggs and thank you for the tags @Meaw_catlady @TheSpineView @ravenlee 🤗
1. Keep - usually! Donate - sometimes. Sell - never. Lend - often!
2. It takes me a while! I read about 300 pages a month, which sounds okay, except I read a lot of 1,000+ page books! 🙈
3. Tagged. I found it dull, but I might give it another chance.
If you haven‘t been tagged yet and you want to participate, consider yourself tagged!😁
Early morning #bookmail. Great way to start a tough day, even if the books aren't for me.
